Dynamic environment & synergy

The author focuses on speed as a variate for time based competition (Sapkauskiene, Leitoniene, 2010). His commentary expressed opposing points of view for encouraging speed. On one side speed is encouraged to engage workers energy stimuli for the learning process involved in work as a two part synergy changing the environment dynamic. While another See's the fast pace as a threat that will feed supervisors the ammunition to drive the workers harder and faster (Sapkauskiene, Leitoniene, 2010). Realistically there is a fine line of fast pace and assertion of energy adjusted at the employees discretion. Fredrick Winslow Taylor empirical study suggested workers assert anywhere from 65-85 percent energy in an eight hour work day. Taylor observed when employees were not at peak performance they would find ways to create downtime; a process he called soldering. Team building is required where applicable to get maximum performance from staff. Time based competition means running lean and providing quick a turn around. Managers should allocate reasonable workloads and distribute the task as evenly as possible. Their job is to create a standard for performance and create goals to complete the objective for serving the customers as a team. Leaders must understand the expectations and the details necessary to accomplish the new standard. Reference Sapkauskiene, A., & Leitoniene, S. (2010).
